DataBinding: Choose one of string resources depends on condition

I have a boolean variable in my data-object, and want to show 1 string from resources when it is true, and another when it is false. I am trying to do it this way:

android:text="@{sendit.bccMode ? @string/sharebox.bcc_mode_on : @string/sharebox.bcc_mode_off}"

But getting an compilation error:

****/ data binding error ****msg:Could not find accessor java.lang.String.bcc_mode_on

What do I am doing wrong?

Solution

  • The Databinding library is lost when you use the . (dot) as a name, change your strings.xml file to this:

      <string name="sharebox_bcc_mode_on">BCC mode on</string>
  <string name="sharebox_bcc_mode_off">BCC mode off</string>
